<h1>Printing</h1>
<p>
Printing a Diagram is typically accomplished by making several images of the Diagram and either saving them, inserting them into a PDF or other document, or printing them directly from the browser. On this page we will create several images out of a large Diagram and prepare some CSS so that printing this page prints only those images.
</p>
<p>
This page uses <a>Diagram.makeImage</a>, which has its own introduction page: <a href="makingImages.html">Making Images with GoJS</a>.
</p>

<p class="box bg-info">
Depending on your situation, you may want to use SVG to print instead, and there is also a page on <a href="makingSVG.html">Making SVG with GoJS</a>, which is nearly identical to making images. In this page's examples you could substitute <a>Diagram.makeSvg</a> for the same result.
</p>

<p>
  Below is the Diagram we are going to prepare for print.

<p>
  Our code for print preparation contains a <code>generateImages</code> function that cuts the Diagram into several images of a given width and height. On this page it is called by default with (700, 960), but the width and height can be modified dynamically with HTML inputs below.
</p>
<pre class="lang-js" id="manyImgCode"><code>
    // if width or height are below 50, they are set to 50
    function generateImages(width, height) {
      // sanitize input
      width = parseInt(width);
      height = parseInt(height);
      if (isNaN(width)) width = 100;
      if (isNaN(height)) height = 100;
      // Give a minimum size of 50x50
      width = Math.max(width, 50);
      height = Math.max(height, 50);

      var imgDiv = document.getElementById('myImages');
      imgDiv.innerHTML = ''; // clear out the old images, if any
      var db = myDiagram.documentBounds;
      var boundswidth = db.width;
      var boundsheight = db.height;
      var imgWidth = width;
      var imgHeight = height;
      var p = db.position;
      for (var i = 0; i &lt; boundsheight; i += imgHeight) {
        for (var j = 0; j &lt; boundswidth; j += imgWidth) {
          var img = myDiagram.makeImage({
            scale: 1,
            position: new go.Point(p.x + j, p.y + i),
            size: new go.Size(imgWidth, imgHeight)
          });
          // Append the new HTMLImageElement to the #myImages div
          img.className = 'images';
          imgDiv.appendChild(img);
          imgDiv.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
        }
      }
    }

    var button = document.getElementById('makeImages');
    button.addEventListener('click', function() {
      var width = parseInt(document.getElementById('widthInput').value);
      var height = parseInt(document.getElementById('heightInput').value);
      generateImages(width, height);
    }, false);

    // Call it with some default values
    generateImages(700, 960);
</code></pre>

<p>
  We want to show nothing but the images when this HTML page is printed, so we must use CSS rules to hide all page elements except the images themselves and the DOM parents of the images leading up to the body (#content, #myImages).
</p>
<p>
  With the CSS below, printing this page will give yield nothing but the generated images that have been added to the end of this page. Typically the image or images used for printing may be hidden from the user completely, except when printing, or else added to a separate page in a new window.

<p>
  The images at the end of this page are generated by calling <code>generateImages(700, 960)</code>. Using the inputs below the images can be replaced with those of a different size. Different papers, page orientations, and margins will require different sized images if they are to fill the paper, and (700, 960) is a suggested size for 8.5 inch by 11 paper in portrait orientation, with minimal margins.
